PET4ward Course (Nov 26 - 27, 2026)

PET4ward Course is organized by British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA) and will be held from Nov 26 - 27, 2026 at Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport - Nec by IHG, Birmingham, England, United Kingdom.

Background:
The PET123 courses have now been running since 2005 and has been established worldwide. The PET courses aim to improve the diagnosis of epileptic and non-epileptic events; improve the standard of care; and raise awareness of when to liaise with a Paediatric Neurologist, a children’s epilepsy expert. The PET4ward course will be a bespoke course, which will follow on from PET123, for those wishing to keep up to date with new and breaking topics within paediatric epilepsy. This course will be clinically based, patient centred and will allow for peer review and discussion, with assurance that you are adhering to safe practices and kept up to date. It will be recommended to attend the course at least once every 5 years. Anyone wishing to attend this course must have attended the PET123 courses.

Aimed at all those which have undertaken the PET1, PET2 and PET3 courses:

• Consultant paediatricians and community paediatricians, especially those with particular expertise or responsibility for children with epilepsy
• Clinical neurophysiologists and physiologists
• Epilepsy nurse specialists
• Trainees in paediatrics, paediatric neurology and neurodisability

If you have attended a PET2 or PET3 course within the last two years, we recommend waiting until closer to the end of this two-year period before booking onto the PET4ward course. This allows you to benefit from the latest updates and newer topics introduced in PET4ward, which were not covered in PET2 or PET3 courses prior to their updates in 2024.
